Emilio Sánchez Vicario

The man behind the method.

  • Doubles world No. 1
  • Top-10 singles
  • Grand Slam champion
  • Olympic medallist
  • Davis Cup-winning captain

Emilio Sánchez founded his academy in Barcelona in 1998 on one idea: great players are formed by great daily habits.

Players who trained there include Andy Murray, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Grigor Dimitrov. Jerry Shang joined at 11 and reached the ATP top 100. The same system has helped many student-athletes earn US university scholarships.

Pros are the exception. Prepared players are the promise.

One academy. Three continents.

International training and exchange, competition across three continents, the same ES360 principles at every location, exposure to international players and coaches, a direct connection to the US college tennis pathway.
